The Bad: This fitness fleece size M is larger (everywhere) than a previously purchased one in the same size. I am an athletic build size 4-6. I buy a medium so I can layer a turtleneck under it. Hopefully I can shrink it some in the dryer (I dry my fleece on a shaped hanger to make it hold up longer) I really wish Bean would make these in petite. I have to roll the sleeves up as they are all too long (I have five of these) Need to make time to try shortening an older one on the sewing machine. Shouldn't have to rebuild new clothes. The Good: Great look, well made and very warm. The fleece has a smoother higher quality look to it than many other brands.
I just received the solid navy version of the misses' fitness fleece quarter zip top. I now own about a dozen of these tops, in both solids and patterns. It is the perfect winter top - flattering neckline, fit that allows full movement but not overly big, warm but not bulky. Once in a while I'll layer it over a tee but for the most part I wear it without layers. My husband loves the men's version and owns it in many colors including brown (my favorite). My only plea is to offer the women's top in autumnal colors, especially brown!
